James J. Rowley Training Center 2017 Master Plan: Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress
"I am pleased to provide the following 'James J. Rowley Training Center 2017 Master Plan,' (JJRTC Master Plan), which was prepared by the U.S. Secret Service (Secret Service). The attached JJRTC Master Plan was approved by the National Capital Planning Commission on December 7, 2017, and is submitted pursuant to language in the Joint Explanatory Statement and Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the Fiscal Year 2016 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (P.L. 114-113). This cover report was compiled by the Secret Service's Office of Training. Operational training is an essential part of the Secret Service's mission success. As the Secret Service continues to meet its strategic hiring goals, the agency's training facility must accommodate new recruit throughput as well as the in-service training required to keep its dedicated special agents and Uniformed Division Officers mission-ready. The JJRTC Master Plan and the JJRTC Capital Infrastructure Improvement Plan that was submitted to the Committees on Appropriations on August 26, 2016, provide a comprehensive guide for required capacity growth and incremental development of our training facility over the next decade and beyond."

Department of Homeland Security: Strategic Plan on Infrastructure Protection Assessments (Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress)
"DHS NPPD [National Protection and Programs Directorate] conducts voluntary security assessments and analyses of the Nation's critical infrastructure. Within NPPD, IP [Infrastructure Protection] carries out assessments, supported by Office of Cyber and Infrastructure Analysis (OCIA) analyses, both of which support risk-informed decision-making by critical infrastructure owners and operators, as well as federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. These initiatives address objectives in homeland security legislation, policy, and doctrine, including the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. To develop the 3-year strategic plan for assessments, NPPD assessed the current or 'as-is' state of the assessment program by evaluating maturity across five program domains, defined a desired 'to-be' state for program maturity, and identified goals and objectives for closing gaps between the current and desired states. This work was informed by extensive engagement with key stakeholders, including interviews with nearly 100 partners, as well as three planning workshops. The resulting 3-year strategic plan enables NPPD to transition the assessment program into a more mature phase that operates with a clearly defined vision or strategic intent, and that better supports data needs for analyses. [...] The strategic intent and approach for the assessment program over the next 3 years will increase the comprehensiveness of the national approach to infrastructure risk management, building beyond the identification and securing of critical assets. This strategic plan serves as the foundation for identifying and prioritizing further steps toward achieving national infrastructure risk management goals through adjustments to the assessment program."

Quinquennial Report on Asylum Decision Trends and Factors: Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress
"The enclosed report provides information on affirmative asylum applications adjudicated by the USCIS [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] Refugee, Asylum, and International Operations' Asylum Division from FYs 2010-2014. This report endeavors to analyze different factors in asylum cases and their relationship to approval odds. The factors analyzed include the Asylum Office handling the case, the applicant's home country, whether the applicant was represented, whether the applicant had dependents, and whether the applicant applied within 1 year after arriving in the United States. The report also analyzes demographic characteristics of the Asylum Officer adjudicating the case, including the officer's asylum adjudication experience, gender, and age. Of the factors measured, timeliness in filing for asylum, geographic subregion of nationality, and freedom score of an applicant's country of nationality were the most statistically significant factors in accounting for differences in case approvals. Statistical analysis also indicates that personal characteristics of the asylum officers like gender, age, and experience had a small-to-negligible effect on case approval odds."

Department of Homeland Security: Border Security Status Report: Third Quarter, Fiscal Year 2016 (Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress)
"DHS secures our Nation's air, land, and sea borders to prevent illegal activity while facilitating lawful travel and trade. The Department's border security and management efforts focus on three interrelated goals: effectively securing U.S. air, land, and sea borders; safeguarding and streamlining lawful trade and travel; and disrupting and, in coordination with other federal agencies, dismantling transnational criminal and terrorist organizations. Through the unprecedented deployment of personnel, technology, and infrastructure, the U.S. border never has been more secure. The integration of intelligence and enforcement capabilities through intergovernmental task forces and partnerships has facilitated better information sharing, leading to the increased interdiction of drugs, weapons, and currency. By focusing on the highest threats and rapidly responding, DHS has strengthened security across all U.S. borders while facilitating international travel and trade."

Coast Guard Concept of Operations for Offshore Assets
"At all times, the U.S. Coast Guard is a military service and a branch of the armed forces, a federal law enforcement agency, a regulatory agency, a first responder, a humanitarian service, and a member of the Intelligence Community. The Coast Guard is the world's premier, multi-mission, maritime service responsible for the safety, security, and stewardship of the Nation's waters. In the execution of its duties within DHS, the Coast Guard serves on the front line for a Nation whose economic prosperity and national security are inextricably linked to its maritime interests. In this capacity, the Coast Guard protects and defends more than 100,000 miles of U.S. coastline and inland waterways, saves thousands of lives per year, and safeguards the world's largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), encompassing 4.5 million square miles. [...] Based on the 2016 MNS [Mission Needs Statement], the Coast Guard developed an updated CONOPS [concept of operations] for the major asset classes operating in the offshore environment (major cutters, patrol boats, and rotary and fixed wing aircraft) that are undergoing recapitalization. This CONOPS describes the operational activity and characteristics of the asset class. Collectively, the current recapitalization projects, excluding polar-class icebreakers, comprise the Offshore Program of Record (POR). This report describes the offshore fleet operating environment and describes the CONOPS under a mission framework."

Department of Homeland Security: USCIS Service Center Operations (Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress)
"This report responds to the Senate requirement to provide additional information on the cost of USCIS [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] Service Center operations and the plan to meet the projected demands of immigration benefits and other requests that are processed at the five USCIS Service Centers. As requested, the report includes data for FY 2016 on pending immigration benefits and other requests at each Service Center by request type. At the end of FY 2016, more than 625,000 cases were outside of the established processing time goals at the Service Centers that comprised the case processing backlog. This report describes the steps that the USCIS Service Center Operations (SCOPS) Directorate, which manages the Service Centers, is taking to address the growth in backlog cases. These steps include a careful and comprehensive analysis of the optimal short- to long-term remedies considered viable in light of increased workloads and backlogs. First, SCOPS has strengthened and expanded its efforts to identify specific work to be transferred among the Service Centers to optimize available processing capacity while also providing overtime funding to increase operating capacity. Second, SCOPS assessed the costs of increasing processing capacity at the Service Centers by identifying the projected overtime costs and the cost associated with achieving full employment at the authorized staffing level established for each center. In addition, USCIS carefully is reviewing the staffing assigned to each of the Service Centers, as well as the overall staffing structure across the Service Centers, to determine where the most efficiency can be gained by increasing staffing allocations."

Progress in Implementing 2011 PBNDS Standards and DHS PREA Requirements at Detention Facilities: Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress
"ICE enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration to promote homeland security and public safety. ICE, through its Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), identifies and apprehends removable aliens, detains these individuals when necessary, and effects removals from the United States. [...] On February 27, 2012, ICE issued the 2011 Performance Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS). ICE tailored these revised standards, developed in collaboration with ICE personnel and numerous agency stakeholders, to meet the needs of its diverse detention population. Since that time, ICE has implemented PBNDS 2011 successfully at 28 facilities, representing 60 percent of ICE's FY 2016 ADP [average daily population]. [...] On March 7, 2014, DHS issued Final Rule, 6 CFR Part 115, Standards to Prevent, Detect, and Respond to Sexual Abuse and Assault in Confinement Facilities, also known as the DHS Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Standards. The DHS PREA Standards establish robust safeguards against sexual abuse and assault of individuals in DHS custody. Meeting a commitment made in the preamble to the DHS PREA Standards, ICE implemented DHS PREA standards through contract modifications at all of the agency's ICE-dedicated detention facilities. DHS PREA standards are binding at 30 facilities housing approximately 80 percent of the ICE FY 2016 ADP (excluding U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) facilities, which are covered by Department of Justice (DOJ) PREA regulations). This report provides an update on the progress that ICE has made in implementing PBNDS 2011 and DHS PREA Standards at ICE detention facilities."

Department of Homeland Security: USCIS Advance Parole Documents (Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress)
"This report responds to the Senate request to provide information on the use of advance parole documents. As requested, the report provides details on how many applications for advance parole documents were received by USCIS [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] and, of those, how many applications were approved and denied. From FYs 2012-2015, USCIS received approximately 300,000 applications for advance parole documents each year. The majority of requests for advance parole documents comes from individuals seeking adjustment of status. Without conducting a manual review of each case, USCIS is unable to provide data on all deferred action recipients who obtained advance parole documents, because USCIS does not track electronically advance parole applications from recipients of deferred action that is not associated with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. However, this report does include the number of DACA recipients who obtained advance parole documents and the number of applicants for adjustment of status (seeking lawful permanent resident status, commonly known as applying for a 'green card') who obtained advance parole documents. The report also provides data on the number of applications for which the filing fee was waived because of an inability to pay. The majority of applicants for advance parole do not receive a waiver for the filing fee."

Department of Homeland Security: Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform (Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress)
"BPAPRA [Border Patrol Agent Pay Reform Act] created a new overtime pay program under Title 5 of the U.S. Code for Border Patrol agents. Under BPAPRA, there are three tours of duty or schedules, each with a corresponding overtime pay supplement. Each year, agents can elect their preferred tour of duty and receive a corresponding overtime pay supplement. The implementation of BPAPRA represents a significant change for how Border Patrol agents are scheduled and compensated for the important work that they do. The law and regulations supporting BPAPRA are complex and have required further clarification to ensure that Border Patrol agents fully understand and are in compliance with BPAPRA. Additionally, payroll system changes were required to support the successful implementation of the new compensation system. While some of these changes have been completed, other changes, aimed at ensuring that all provisions of the law and regulations are efficiently and effectively carried out, have not yet reached completion."
